Porcini Mushroom Tagliatelle Pasta

There are people that like mushrooms, then there are people who love mushrooms and finally there are mushroom freaks...

This is a wonderful mushroom base for any pasta that calls for mushrooms.

Personally this is a very nice start, but I really love mushrooms.

So here is what I do: I take two ounces of dried Porcini mushrooms and soak them in warm water for about 15 to 30 minutes, I then drain them and squeeze the extra water out of them and set them aside. I then take the water drained from the mushrooms and squeezed from the mushrooms and add that to my pasta water.

While the pasta is cooking I make a simple, light, tomato sauce with the sliced mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.

Excellent Pasta!

Not only is the flavor of this pasta excellent, I use the pasta water to steam veggies after the pasta is cooked. The flavor infused the veggies - making for an awesome meal!

Just experiencing the aroma from the open package alone, I knew that this one was really special. Yes, it is "mushroomy" but with a compelling "fenugreek" like bouquet and flavor that is unique, balanced and delicious. We served it with sauteed carrots, butter and sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Stunning!
